After the basement remediation, the toy closet was disassembled and sorted through. The toys and games that were kept found new homes in other closets in the basement.

It was as easy as one, two, three.

Well... it wasn't really that easy.

The parsons desk and cabinet were from my room when I was growing up. They were used in my son's room when he was a toddler and the desk did a short stint in my daughter's room as well. For the past several years they have been in either the attic or storage closet.

New contact paper was added to the cabinet and it's the perfect storage location for my scrapbook paper and crafting magazines and books.

The shelves and drawer unit to the left are from The Container Store, which I purchased during their 30% off sale.

The storage boxes are shoe boxes covered in pretty contact paper.

The labels I made as well. I will have a post next week dedicated to the DIY items in this space.

The glass jars are filled with ribbons and trim that I can see at a glance.

The paint brush containers are also a DIY project.

I love the shelf baskets. They keep all of the items I use all the time organized but in plain sight.

The most time consuming part of this project was going through the many closets and drawers I had all of my craft stuff stashed in. I found so many things that I didn't even remember owning.

Very nice Judith I have beeing following this renovation and it looks great, very nice job, I am a new blogger and are currently working on my daughter's bedroom.Great blog keep up the good work.www.teachinglovingandcaringmoms.blogspot.com

Your new craft closet is so pretty and colorful, while being so organized. I like how you covered the boxes in pretty paper and painted the chair. I have a chair like that - they're so neat. You did a great job. I imagine you cannot wait to sit down and get to work. I also like your sign - I feel the same way!

I love your closet work space. I sewed in the closet in two of our homes, then I had an entire room just for sewing. Now, I sew standing up at the work bench in the garage. And, standing up is actually comfortable on my back.

This is such a great craft space! It's so organized and has a lot of storage space yet is compact and you can close the doors to it. My craft stuff is EVERYWHERE right now. I look forward to it all having a home one day.

Big wow! You did a fabulous job and should be proud! Even customizing the boxes! Looks like a great spot for projects and you can hide it in an instant which can be a good thing! I like the bright prints you chose on the contact paper. Great job!

Wow - that was truly a dramatic transformation! First, I love your saying about making things beautiful. I totally agree! I think you have thought out every little detail of making your new space work for you. I cannot imagine such a wonderful work space. You have done an incredible job - good for you!!

Beautiful space. I am working on my office/craft room right now to. It is very time consuming going through all the supplies. Fun to organize it though. I hope you can share this on my Tuesday link party.

Love your new craft space!! You did a wonderful job at remaking it. I really loved the shoe boxes that you recovered, a nice up cycle! My Grandmother had chairs like that in her dining room, they were a dark mahogany color. Again great job!!! Laura

Every crafter/sewers dream! I love it! We have a big closet under our stairs that is my husband's computer "office" I just gave a peak at it in my master bedroom reveal this week - but my favorite part of that closet is the doors that close over it.

Oh Judy!!! This is seriously AMAZING!!! I have major craft/sewing room closet envy now and I can only imagine how wonderful it feels to have carved out this beautiful space for yourself. Well done friend! You never cease to amaze me. :-)Vanessa

Hi Judy, Your new craft closet turned out amazing! Love the colors you chose. It is so neat and organized and fun at the same time. I am sure you will spend many happy hours creating in this lovely space you created for yourself. Enjoy!SuzannePieced PastimesPS-Would love to have you link this up to Saturday Sparks

Who wouldn't want to create here? It is beautiful. Those shelf baskets are so cool. I've never seen such a thing and now I wish I hadn't thrown out all of my old shoe boxes. Boo. :D Thanks for sharing.p

JUDY!!!! I love EVERY single thing about this! I have enjoyed following the transformation, but this reveal is just awesome. You did a fabulous job!!!! You must be so happy with how it turns out. Here's to even more creative endeavours out of that pretty little space. :) Sharon
